MEANS FOR SECURING JEWELS 0R ORNAMENTS TO STUDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 12, 1909.

Patented June *7, 1910.

Serial No. 483,051.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDGAR E. KAHN, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for SecuringJewels or Ornaments to Studs, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompany- .ng drawing.

This invention relates to means for securing ornaments to pins or studs,and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts presentlyto be described.

The object of the invention is to provide a construction whereby a jewelor ornament may be applied to a stlck pin, stud or button and when soapplied will present a finished appearance resembling in that respect apermanent attachment.

In the accompanying drawing I have shown the invention as applied to astick pin and also as applied to the shank of a button. It is however,to be understood that the specific illustrations are not employed forthe purpose of limitations in so far as the invention as defined in theclaim is concerned.

Figure l is a side elevation; Fig. 2 is a vertical section, and Fig. 3is a modified form.

A designates the pin and B is the head part. This head is constructedconveniently in drum shape having an integrally closed end Z) and aninserted disk part I) held in position by the edges of the drum partbent slightly inward over the disk. The disk is provided centrally witha screw threaded stem 6 The jewel or ornament is designated at C and hasa concaved inner face 0 of a diameter slightly greater than that of thehead. Within this concaved portion is secured a head D of the threadedstem 6 which is designed to engage with the threaded aperture in thedisk of the head.

Owing to the curvature of the side forming the concaved part of thejewel or ornament and its diameter relative to the diameter of the head,it will be observed that the edges of the head adjacent the securingdisk will be forced into this depression slightly as the ornament orjewel is secured to the head by turning the same, thus the screw will becarried well into the threaded aperture in the head. The constructionthus described while being applied conveniently to a pin, may be appliedto a button stem of any desired form as shown in Fig. 3, at A.

It will be readily appreciated by reason of the particular constructionabove described that a detachable connection is formed between theornament and the head and that the joint is so positioned as to bepractically concealed, thus rendering the entire article as though itwere finished with a permanent connection.

Having thus described the invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is An article of manufacture of the characterdescribed comprising a shank, a head on said shank provided with anapproximately annular bearing on its face, a decorative member having adished undersurface corresponding generally to the contour of thebearing edge on the head but somewhat larger in diameter at the entranceof the dished portion, and a connecting pin between the decorativemember and the head securing them together with the bearing edge of thehead in contact with the wall of the dished portion and within thedished portion so that both the pin and the overhanging portion of thedecorative member resist breakage of the decorative member under lateralstrain.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
